President Trump urged Apple's CEO Tim Cook to stop building manufacturing facilities in India for U.S.-bound devices and focus on increasing domestic production.
Trump's comments may disrupt Apple's plan to import most iPhones sold in the U.S. from India by next year as part of its shift away from China.
The iPhone facilities in India produce over 40 million units annually, but manufacturing iPhones in the U.S. faces challenges due to lack of talent.
Trump mentioned tariff negotiations with India and the country's 'Make in India' program aimed at promoting domestic manufacturing through incentives and higher import duties.
